Mac Seibert, Professional Level - 2406

He spoke to The Times at an evaluation camp, among 20 such camps he ran at the time for Arizona.

"I think this is a good training ground for the kids to come out to be evaluated on a professional level," Seibert told The Times. "Whether or not they are a prospect or not, at least this gives them some idea of where they stand in relationship to professional baseball players."

Siebert once stood with professional baseball players himself, if only briefly. Siebert played two seasons as a pro, making it to single-A Fayetteville in 1990.

He has since gone on to a long career as a scout. In 2016, he continues as a scouting supervisor for the Mets.

Seibert's career in baseball began in 1989, taken by the Tigers in the 36th round of the draft out of Jacksonville State University. Seibert has also been credited by his formal name Malcom Seibert and as Mal Seibert.
